Which Subaru SUV Fits Your Routine?
Crosstrek: Start with Compact Versatility
The Crosstrek is a compact crossover with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Put it on your list if you want an SUV-style cargo area without starting with a larger vehicle.
For errands around Aventura and commuting on I-95, compare how the seat, mirrors, and controls fit you. Bring your usual bags or stroller to check the cargo area. A Crosstrek Hybrid is also available.
Shop Subaru Crosstrek models or compare Crosstrek gas and hybrid options.
Forester: Compare Daily SUV Practicality
The Forester is a compact SUV offered with gas and hybrid powertrains. Its two-row layout makes it a candidate for drivers who want passenger and cargo flexibility without a third row.
Check the driving position, access to the rear seats, and room for groceries, sports equipment, or a pet carrier. Compare the exact trim's comfort features before deciding.

Outback: Consider a Midsize SUV
The Outback is a midsize SUV with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Compare it if your week combines commuting, hauling gear, and longer trips outside South Florida.
Try the rear seats and load the items you regularly carry. If your plans include unpaved routes, compare the Outback Wilderness and its off-road equipment with the other available trims.

Ascent: Choose Your Seating Layout
The Ascent is Subaru's three-row SUV, with seven- or eight-passenger configurations depending on trim. Start here if you regularly need seating beyond two rows.
Compare second-row captain's chairs with a bench configuration where available. Check third-row access and the space left for luggage when everyone is aboard. Bring your child seats to assess fit using the vehicle and child-seat instructions.
Shop Subaru Ascent inventory.
Should You Choose Gas, Hybrid, or Electric?
Choose a powertrain around your driving habits and access to charging. A gas model uses familiar fuel stops. The current Crosstrek Hybrid and Forester Hybrid combine a gasoline engine with electric assistance and do not require plugging in.
For fully electric driving, compare the Solterra, Trailseeker, and Uncharted. Before choosing an electric vehicle (EV), review where you can charge at home, work, or nearby public stations, along with the charging stops needed for longer trips. Check the drivetrain of the specific trim rather than assuming every Subaru has all-wheel drive.
Explore Subaru electric vehicles and compare available vehicles with your usual routes and parking arrangements.
Prefer a Subaru Car?
- Impreza: A five-door hatchback with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Compare it if you want hatchback loading flexibility in a car.
- WRX: A turbocharged sports sedan with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Compare it if you want four-door access and a performance-focused driving experience.
- BRZ: A two-door, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe. Consider it if a sports-car layout matters more to you than SUV space.
Browse available Subaru cars and SUVs, then request a drive in the vehicles that fit your priorities.
